    They still all work, but over the past year or so the drivers side front window motor has been getting progressively louder, now the passenger side front window motor is starting to noise up. They are to the point that they will override any conversation going on in the vehicle, then I have to listen to everyone tell me my power windows are going, really?, thanks. Anyone had to replace these things? It doesn't seem like that hard of job, but kind of an inconvenience and shouldn't need replacing after only 6 years. My 12 year old Mustang never had window problems, not any other vehicle I've ever owned, or seen :confused:

    its an easy fix. You should be able to get the new regulator/motor assembly for about 60- 90 bucks.

    Finally got around to replacing both front windows motors and regulators. Took about 2 total hours for both. Not bad at all. Windows are super quiet now. I'll save posting pictures as there's a whole thread dedicated to the same procedure.
